>
>Yes. [Tool gives author freedom to control which markup is produced, 
>even if by a code view.]
>No. [Tool does not meet the above condition.]

>1.2 Ensure that the tool preserves all accessibility content during 
>authoring, transformation, and conversions [Priority 1]
>
>Yes. [Tool preserves representative set of accessible markup 
>(spot-test until automated tools available)]
>No. [Tool does not meet the above condition]

>
>WCAG 1.1 Provide a text equivalent for every non-text element ....

>server-side image map.
>WCAG 1.3 Until user agents can automatically read aloud the text 
>equivalent of a visual track, provide an auditory description of the 
>important information of the visual track of a multimedia 
>presentation.
>WCAG 1.4 For any time-based multimedia presentation (e.g., a movie 
>or animation), synchronize equivalent alternatives (e.g., captions 
>or auditory descriptions of the visual track) with the presentation.
>WCAG 2.1 Ensure that all information conveyed with color is also 
>available without color, for example from context or markup.
>WCAG 4.1 Clearly identify changes in the natural language of a 
>document's text and any text equivalents (e.g., captions).
>WCAG 5.1 For data tables, identify row and column headers.

>or column headers, use markup to associate data cells and header 
>cells.

>sheets. For example, when an HTML document is rendered without 
>associated style sheets, it must still be possible to read the 
>document.
>WCAG 6.2 Ensure that equivalents for dynamic content are updated 
>when the dynamic content changes.
>WCAG 6.3 Ensure that pages are usable when scripts, applets, or 
>other programmatic objects are turned off or not supported. If this 
>is not possible, provide equivalent information on an alternative 
>accessible page.
>WCAG 7.1 Until user agents allow users to control flickering, avoid 
>causing the screen to flicker.
>WCAG 9.1 Provide client-side image maps instead of server-side image 
>maps except where the regions cannot be defined with an available

>WCAG 3.1 When an appropriate markup language exists, use markup 
>rather than images to convey information.
>WCAG 3.2 Create documents that validate to published formal grammars.
>WCAG 3.3 Use style sheets to control layout and presentation.
>WCAG 3.4 Use relative rather than absolute units in markup language

>formatting effects such as indentation.

>when linearized. Otherwise, if the table does not make sense,

>alternative presentation or page.

>auto-redirect, do not use markup to redirect pages automatically. 
>Instead, configure the server to perform redirects.
>WCAG 8.1 Make programmatic elements such as scripts and applets 
>directly accessible or compatible with assistive technologies 
>[Priority 1 if functionality is important and not presented 
>elsewhere, otherwise Priority 2.]
>WCAG 9.2 Ensure that any element that has its own interface can be 
>operated in a device-independent manner.
>WCAG 9.3 For scripts, specify logical event handlers rather than 
>device-dependent event handlers.
>WCAG 10.1 Until user agents allow users to turn off spawned windows, 
>do not cause pop-ups or other windows to appear and do not change 
>the current window without informing the user.
>WCAG 10.2 Until user agents support explicit associations between 
>labels and form controls, for all form controls with implicitly 
>associated labels, ensure that the label is properly positioned.
>WCAG 11.1 Use W3C technologies when they are available and 
>appropriate for a task and use the latest versions when supported.
>WCAG 11.2 Avoid deprecated features of W3C technologies.
